2 best HDD bad sector repair tools for Windows 10 [2019 LIST]

The role of a hard disk in a computer system is extremely important because it holds all your valuable information and keeps the operating system working properly. The data on the bad sectors may be temporarily or permanently lost depending on the cause of the problem.

Hardware errors are impossible to fix with software and can only be rectified by creating a back-up and replacing the hardware itself. If the damage is caused by software errors then you can fix them by using the appropriate software.

A hard drive contains millions of sectors which over time can get damaged or become inaccessible for a variety of reasons – logical corruption, physical damage of the disk ( possibly due to dropping of the hard disk), etc.

When a section of the hard drive is inaccessible, in the worse case scenario, it can cause the operating system to crash.

MBR problems can be caused by a variety of reasons like the partition being infected by a trojan horse virus that your antivirus didn’t remove completely, or loading a backup image for your operating system that ended up messing the MBR. This problem also occurs on some external hard disks .
